Finally had some time to play Double Spoiler. ZUN seems to be getting better and better at making games. <3

I'm currently at Level 8. Any tips on beating Orin and Utsuho's spellcards? 8-1 seems the most accessible one, but until now I couldn't get more than 5 out of 7 pictures.

@supertonia and leodamine: The easiest way to get out of Level 5 is completing Ichirin's first two spell cards (5-1 and 5-3). Don't expect things to get easier in Lever 6, though.

it's a total pain compared to the old days when it was...portable. Like, I can't just drop this into a flash drive like my other games.

EDIT: I forgot to say, anyone else having trouble with MoF? Not as in difficulty, since I already 1cc'd it, but for some reason now I can't run it without getting guaranteed frame rate drops during the first stage. It's ridiculously annoying.

Portable Issue:

Spoiler for Save Room, Neatness:

Here's a neat trick to keep DSStB portable.
Starting with Double Spoiler, data (such as config, scores, and replays) are stored in the user's profile directory. Some people might not want this, and instead want to keep things in the DS directory to keep things portable. Here's a fix: Make a batch file (let's say th125p.bat) in the same directory as th125.exe, with the following contents:

@echo off
md "%CD%\user"
set APPDATA=%CD%\user
th125

Then run th125p.bat, and everything will be stored in a user directory under where th125.exe is, rather than the usual Application Data directory. If you want to keep your progress, then copy/move your Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\ShanghaiAlice (for Vista and 7) directory to <DS directory>\user\ShanghaiAlice.

Frame rate: What spec are you running on? Has this drop in framerate always occurred?

in my experience MoF and everything that comes after it requires a bit higher specs. Well for me switching to 16 bit in the costum.exe helps a lot

So, figured out how to fix my problem. I threw my windows 7 into the basic theme, defraged my hard drive, and gave MoF higher priority. Now it runs like it used to. Also the other touhou games run even better than normally now, so that's a plus.
